However, Signal is like the one application that’s user friendly and is NOT compromised, and you seem to be completely attacking it.
That’s what annoys me the most here. We have one FLOSS project that is very high quality, secure and gained significant popularity, and we start shooting it down ourselves…
I know matrix, and it’s much lower overall quality, significantly less secure and popular, and is very unlikely to ever become popular until they really rethink their UX.
What I mean is that Signal is more of a code dump rather than a truly free software project, it’s developed mostly internally, in that way Matrix is much more a true community project.
Fair point, but having a smaller team of highly competent devs (their job requirements are quite high if you look on their website) does allow them to innovate quicker and keep an overall high level of quality.
And it’s not like telegram were there code is completely unusable and the server is propretary. There are already a bunch of forks of Signal that exists (session being one of the main).

This would be a truly problematic sentiment in some other cases. But the point here, is that unlike Matrix, Signal is not really ours.
What do you mean by that?

Sure. Signal is a better choice than the clown that’s Telegram.
